Liar Liar Pants on Fire...
I've discovered my problem with finishing stories I start writing. Well really I have two problems. Firstly, I realized, or remembered really, that I'm terrible at telling stories when they're true, unless they involve me injuring myself in some way or getting called a slut (which is more than a little injuring). I do all my best storytelling when I'm telling outright lies, or when I'm reiterating stories about particularly epic lies I've told. Most of these stories and lies come from my childhood. So this brings me to my next problem which is that I can't figure out how to end most of my stories (the written ones that is), which I think is because they're too personal and mostly actually about real events and since my life hasn't ended, I can't imagine endings to my stories. Therefore, I think I ought to stick to writing things that are fictional, or at least mostly fictional and things will work out a bit better. That strategy seems to be working better for me so far.
